Linda Ronstadt can't sing anymore.

I'm coming late to the "party" but saw/read this thread and was very saddened. No, she is not dead, thankfully, and her singing will live on in our records (and CD's, no doubt) but it is always sad to read that one of the original movers and shakers of MY audio world can no longer sing. We used to call her Luscious Linda, not just because of her lovely looks, but because of her even more lovely voice.

I've been picking up Rondstadt CDs whenever I find them of late.

When she was good, she was REALLY good!

I love the earlier, more countrified stuff (post-Stone Ponies, pre-stardom). What an amazing voice!

oops - sorry about the double post. :-o

I think I have nearly everything she ever recorded on vinyl. Absolutely amazing performer who conveys so much beyond the lyrics with her singing. I saw the Eagles documentary and there were clips of her singing in LA when the guys who formed the Eagles were in her band. They were saying that the first time anybody heard her sing they all said, wow, she;s going to the top. It was that apparent. Too bad she is done singing.
